When Women Take Control

By Lars the Goddess

The large ballroom at Relena’s mansion was filled with societies most elite as they glided across the polished floor to gossip and dance. Many talked about the extra guests the former princess had invited because only one of them really belonged there. However, even Quatre Winner avoided the snobbier crowd, choosing to stick with his real friends.
The group of friends stood off to the side beside the bar so that Duo could get the most out of the free liquor. However, all was not peaceful with this group of teens because Wufei, once again, managed to throw Sally into a temper. The Chinese boy didn’t even pay attention when the female Preventer lifted her elegant gown out of the way and stomped off to the other side of the room.
Carefully moving between groups of rich business owners and their snobbish wives, she overheard Wufei comment on how over sensitive women were. It was definitely the last straw for here after putting up with him for two years. He had no right to tell her that she would never be a suitable soldier and she was going to prove it, showing him his weak spot, whether he liked it or not.
Formulating an idea in her head, she let a small smile turn the corners of her mouth up. It was time to go collect the rest of the girls who had likewise been annoyed by their men earlier in the evening. They were undoubtedly amazed at how long she had held out before leaving the guy’s presence, especially since she was with Wufei.
About 10 minutes later, Duo looked up from his fourth vodka shot, "Hey, where’d all the girlz go?" he slurred.
Quatre looked around before answering, "I think they all got mad at us and went off somewhere else."
"Women always come crawling back, don’t worry," Wufei said at the look of worry on Duo’s drunken features. As if to back up his confidence, the Chinese boy crossed his arms over his tuxedo and leaned casually against the bar.
No sooner had he got comfortable than a loud and eerie drum beat in complete contrast to the posh orchestra startled him from his position. Looking around, the group of pilots noticed the crowd part, revealing their women. All of them had managed to make their conservative gowns reveal more skin and make them more sexy than normal. They all tried to hold their drool in as Sally broke away from the others and slowly approached them while singing.

Don’t you mess with a little girl’s dream
‘Cause she’s liable to grow up mean

Wufei looked at her in surprise, noticing her eyes flashing an angry color. However, he couldn’t quite keep his vision away from the flowing green fabric of her gown that just barely covered her.

Surprised you to find that I’m laughing?
You thought that you’d find me in tears
You thought I’d be crawling the walls
Like a tiny mosquito and trembling in fear

The Chinese boy looked at her funny, sure he had been mean and he mainly implied that, but she never took him this seriously before. Maybe he had gone too far this time.
He watched intently as she approached him, bringing her lips tantalizingly close to his own as she continued.

Well you may be king for the moment
But I am a queen understand
And I’ve got your pawns and your bishops
And castles
All inside the palm of my hand

Wufei grunted in dismay as she rubbed up against him, keeping their lips apart before returning to the other girls and allowing Catherine to have the floor.
Quatre visibly paled as he watched the fiery tempered red head approach him.

While you were looking the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were licking your lips
I was miserable

The blond Arab looked away from the beauty in front of him in shame, only hearing the swish of her shimmering blue dress as she drew closer. It was true that he didn’t pay her enough attention. The feel of her caressing the hard muscles of his chest caused him to blush slightly as she continued.

While you were selling your soul
While you were tearing a hole in me
I was taking control
Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control...

Sold his soul? Quatre looked up in surprise. The only way that applied to him is if she meant how he would do anything in the name of good business. If it furthered him and possibly helped others, he would go to any extreme. He watched sadly as she left his side to return with the others and wishing all the while her warm hands were still on him.
Hilde was next as the petite German girl approached Duo, a look of pure enjoyment on her face as she took in his surprised, drunken features.

This is beginning to feel good
Watching you squirm in your shoes
A small bead of sweat on your brow
And a growl in your belly your too scared to let through

Duo reached a shaky hand up to his forehead to clear the dampness. He accidentally let a gasp escape his mouth as she grabbed his tux front and pulled him firmly toward her so there was no space between their bodies.

You thought you could keep me from loving
You thought you could feed on my soul

"Well, I am Shinigami," he said with the handsomest smile.

But while you were busy destroying my life
What was half in me has become whole

"So you’re all woman now, huh?" the braided pilot asked.
"That’s right," Hilde said as she pulled him down to the floor in a big make out session.
All the girls joined in together.

While you were looking the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were licking your lips
I was miserable
While you were selling your soul
While you were tearing a hole in me
I was taking control
Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control...

Well, they all had to admit that everyone of those points pertained to them.
Relena stepped forward, ignoring the two going at it on her ballroom floor and recapturing everyone’s attention as she headed toward the balcony doors to the near right of the guys and opening them.

So this is how it feels
To breath in the summer air
To feel the sand between my toes
And love inside my ear

Heero looked away but kept his feelings of guilt from his ever-emotionless face. He knew he kept her sheltered and she didn’t want it, but he couldn’t accept it if anything happened to her.

All those things that you taught me to fear
I’ve got them in my garden now
And your not welcome here

He looked up, a little hurt at the idea of not being allowed to participate in every part of her life. "I’m sorry. Can we maybe go there together, it sounds nice," he said quietly but only received a hard look from his beauty.
She simply pushed her red skirt, which she had slit up each side out of the way, giving everyone a perfect view of her shapely legs as she began to walk. Walking back to the others, minus Hilde, she turned back, her face softening a bit. "I’ll think about it."
Midii Une stepped forward next and placed a steady gaze at Trowa who let a betrayed look cross his face, quickly covering it up before too many noticed.

Come a little bit closer

She sang as she gestured him nearer. He did as she asked, slowly approaching her in a trance like state.

Let me look at you

She said as she brushed his overhanging bang from his face to reveal his handsome face and deep green eyes.

I gave you the benefit
Of the doubt it’s true

He gave a slight smile, realizing that she hadn’t trusted him when he said he forgave her for betraying him. Even to this day she needs constant reassurance that he has forgotten about it and really loves her.

But keep in mind my darling
Not every saint is a fool

Saint was the nickname that she had given him when he had found her once again. And he knew one thing was for sure, he was no fool. He was never gonna let her go as he followed suit with Duo and Hilde, shocking everyone. Pulling the white clad girl in front of him closer, he kissed her as they sank blissfully to the floor. He knew she could never stay mad at him for long.
The remaining girls who were doing well on holding off the guys apology in hopes of better results began to sing once more.

While you were looking the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were licking your lips
I was miserable
While you were selling your soul
While you were tearing a hole in me
I was taking control
Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control...
Don’t you mess with me

They ended, the three remaining girls taking a stance before their man with their hands on hips and their evilest looks trained on them. Silence reigned around them as the guests were in too much shock to really do anything except stare and see what would happen next.
All of the guys looked meek, including Wufei who decided it would be better to complain about his embarrassment at a later date. Quatre finally broke the tension, speaking up, "This can not be all that there is to life because in our confrontation with an enormous and cold universe there is something comical to the idea that we can really enforce our will on humanity...power corrupts!"
"You’re scaring me," Catherine said as Quatre drew her into a gentle embrace, placing a kiss on her forehead.
"I’m sorry, Cathy," he said sincerely as he felt her wrap her arms tightly around his waist to pull him close to her.
The other girls looked at him in appreciation, glad to see that their point was clear and the guys, no matter how emotionless they seemed, understood it. They kissed their significant others passionately causing the crowded ballroom to applaud, breaking the silence.
Breaking away from Relena, Heero gestured to the two couples still making out on the floor. "I never knew Trowa could be so open," he said as Relena got a worried look on her face.
"We better get them somewhere more private before they lose anymore clothing," she said as she looked amusedly at Duo and Hilde who was now working on unbuttoning the braided pilot’s shirt already depositing his jacket on the floor beside them. Luckily, she was having trouble with the first button at the neck of his shirt; slowing them down significantly and giving the others time to ship them off upstairs.
Trowa and Midii soon followed leaving Relena to apologize to her guests for the display they had presented. However, there was no reason for apologies as everyone complimented her on how exciting the evening had been. All the posh guests agreed that it had been the best party they had attended in years and they were looking forward to the next one she would throw.
Seeing that her job was done, Relena excused herself leaving the guests to decide when the party would end. Grabbing Heero’s hand, she followed the other two couples up the stairs to finish making up properly.
